How do I stop my mouse from waking my PC?

I recently got a new motherboard (swapped from 12th gen Intel to AM4) and ever since the new motherboard, my mouse has gained the ability to wake up my computer.

I didn't see anything in the BIOS relating to this (ASUS PRIME B550-PLUS) and if I put `powercfg /DEVICEQUERY wake_armed` in CMD it only two HID keyboards and a Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller #2. I already went into device manager and right click -> settings -> power management on every HID mouse in the list and disabled them both from waking my PC, but it still does it.

It's a wireless Logitech G305mouse plugged into the front USB. It still does it if I plug it directly into the motherboard.

I don't use my desk only for computing, sometimes I do stuff on the desk and have to push the mouse aside, and as soon as I nudge it or even bump into the table a little bit too hard, my PC wakes from sleep.

My current workaround is to click sleep, then pick up my mouse and flip the switch underneath. But that's getting tiresome. Surely there's a software solution to this?
